People always seem surprised when I tell them that I enjoy feline dentistry… after all it can be a long and seemingly messy job! However there’s nothing more satisfying than helping a cat in pain by pretty much instantly alleviating their discomfort with one procedure. Daisy is a perfect example of this. Daisy is a…

Veterinary nurses are a special breed. Driven by a love of animals and a desire to care for them, they spend years training for their chosen profession, improving the comfort and welfare of every patient they meet. You may not always see them, but behind every good veterinary practice is a team of registered nurses…

Now I don’t know about you, but I get pretty stressed around this time of the year making sure everything is ready for Christmas.. Have I bought enough food? Where is everyone going to sleep? Have I remembered to buy a present for each member of my family?! As we rush about our lives in…

Those of you who have been with us for some time may have noticed a few changes lately. More than a few in fact, as when Shreen and I started doing home visits 5 years ago, we could have hardly imagined where we would be today! We’ve both studied hard and completed advanced certificates in…

That’s the line my husband used when I suddenly realised how fat my cat Aaliyah had actually got. It’s easy not to see the weight piling on when you see your pet every day, but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

We recently had the great pleasure of meeting Lulu, a very sweet 12 year-old tortoiseshell girl. Life was good for Lulu until sadly her owner passed away and for the past several months, she had been living alone in an empty house. No prior arrangements had been made for her care so when her owner…

I’m a vet, so of course I’m going to say yes, right? Pet insurance allows me to perform more diagnostic tests and treatments for my patients which means not only happier, healthier pets but also a more profitable practice. So you would think that I would recommend it to all of my clients and in…

This week we travelled to Esher to visit Sammy, a lovely 18 year old cat. Sammy’s owner thought he was ‘slowing down’ in his old age and wanted us to make sure there were no underlying health problems. His owner had had him since he was a kitten and in her eyes he hadn’t aged…
